That's the point of the garbage collector to remove cyclical objects that reference counting alone can't remove.

You can already do that with SteamVR Theater mode or at least used to. Haven't used it in almost a decade 😅

They come up with the weirdest brand names sometimes for these cheap products sometimes that I figured while you can find the same item likely not branded the same 😅

Looked it up as was curious on the timing and supposedly 0.3ms of a frame so at 72Hz that's a little over 2% of the time so if it wasn't strobing it would be like suddenly fifty times brighter.

If for some reason the Quest was no longer blanking the backlight in-between frames then the perceived brightness is much brighter. The backlight is actually on for a fairly short fraction of every frame.

You and I know this but plenty of the large AAA companies prefer having lots of fresh developers over senior developers that they can chew through. They have been doing this for ages.
